Lift him up and carry him along, | |
Fire maringo, fire him away! | |
Put him down where he belongs, | |
Fire maringo, fire him away! | |
Ease him down and let him lay, | |
Fire maringo, fire him away! | |
Screw him in and there he'll stay. | |
Fire maringo, fire him away! | |
Put him in his hole below, | |
Fire maringo, fire him away! | |
Stay he must and then he'll go. | |
Fire maringo, fire him away! | |
When I get back to Liverpool Town, | |
Fire maringo, fire him away! | |
I'll toss a line to little Sally Brown. | |
Fire maringo, fire him away! | |
I'll haul her high and haul her low, | |
Fire maringo, fire him away! | |
I'll bust her blocks and make her go. | |
Fire maringo, fire him away! | |
Sally is a pretty little craft, | |
Fire maringo, fire him away! | |
Hot shot to the fore & rounded in the aft. | |
Fire maringo, fire him away! | |
Screw the cart and screw him down, | |
Fire maringo, fire him away! | |
Let's get the hell back to Liverpool Town. | |
Fire maringo, fire him away! | |
